CarSteve Dallas has spent six years and two million dollars building an electric car. It's lean and green - but is nothing without a name. Steve puts the pedal to history for inspiration, steering his way around decades of car names to help choose just the right one for his creation. For help he turns to marketing gurus and automotive experts, and gets strapped in with racing legend Paul Tracy. This episode speeds through automotive history from the colourful perspective of their names - from the classics (Thunderbird) to the lemons (Edsel) to the lost in translation (Nova, which means does not go in Spanish!). Buckle up for a fun and bumpy ride into car history, and learn how some of our favorite four wheelers came to own - or disown-their famous names. - RestaurantE7
RestaurantWorld renowned chef Susur Lee has opened three restaurants in Toronto over the years, and now he's ready to cook up more culinary delights with his fourth. The new place features everything you'd expect from a kitchen magician-except a name. Lee stirs the past to see what's worked - and what hasn't - in the centuries old tradition of naming restaurants. With help from famous foodies and celebrity gourmands like Kevin Brauch (The Thirsty Traveller), Christine Cushing (Fearless in the Kitchen), and Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy, Susur samples restaurant names from the ages that have been savoured (The Savoy Grill), gone sour (Sambo's,) or been roasted for their silliness (Fu King. Seriously...) Tuck into this story of how restaurant names have marinated through history and why they did - or didn't - pass the taste test.
